From Caroline Poolman.
I contacted Charles Nethercott about the disrepair of the War Memorial in South Mimms.
I am grateful to announce that Chas. Nethercott and Sons have kindly offered to contribute
all the costs for the repair work, to be completed in time for the Annual Act of Remembrance on 12th November.
On behalf of South Mimms residents our gratitude and sincere thanks to Charles Nethercott and his Company for their generosity.

CHURCHYARDS
There has been an incident recently concerning a lady while tending a family grave in St Giles’ Churchyard, when a dog (not on a lead and she thinks it might have been a type of Staffordshire Bull Terrier) started to bark at her which made her very nervous, there was no sign of the owner, the dog finally ran off. Would dog owners who take their dogs through our churchyards, please keep them on a lead and under control, also please clear up any mess.
Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
